Episode notes
Pre-Sell Before You Build
- Do pre-sell: find 10 potential customers and ask them for advice before building anything.
- Offer them a ~50% discount for a case study and aim to deliver value as fast as possible.
Target Boring, High-Value Markets
- Pick a boring industry with high deal sizes and manual operations to maximize durable demand.
- Ask AI to list 20 such industries and prioritize steady markets over fads like crypto or e‑com.
Solve One Pain, Deliver One Benefit
- Identify a real pain inside that market and define the specific benefit you'll deliver.
- Get paid to set up AI automations (e.g., call qualification/scheduling) that solve that pain.
